Tourism brings major economic benefits to cities around the world, supporting local businesses, creating jobs, and promoting cultural exchange. However, in recent years, many popular destinations such as Barcelona, Venice, Amsterdam, and Kyoto have faced growing concerns about overtourism. Rising housing costs, overcrowding, environmental damage, noise, and the loss of local identity have led some cities to introduce tourist taxes, visitor caps, short-term rental restrictions, and limits on cruise ships or large tour groups. Supporters of these measures argue that cities should prioritize residents’ quality of life and preserve local communities, while opponents believe limiting tourism could harm economies and restrict cultural openness.
